    how many coats of klasse sg / topcoating

    I am in the process of a full detail on my gto buffed with denim pads and velvet with m105 and m205 followed by klasse aio and now have one coat of klasse sealant glaze debating how many coats to put on or if I should just top coat with p21s I'm going for the best finish overall let me know your opinion my car is garage kept and usually just comes out for car cruises.

    In my opinion I got the best gloss when did 3 layers. That was also when I got the best durability. Anything over 3 was just overkill.

    Re: how many coats of klasse sg / topcoating

    I did a second coat tonight not sure if it's in my head but the car looks cleaner to me and shinier I will go for the third coat in a few days now my understanding is that if I topcoat it then I will no longer be able to layer it and will have to strip it to add layers entirely?

    2-3 coats is good.

    If you use a wax to "topcoat" then you won't really be able to apply more layers of KSG and have it bond properly. Always wax over sealant, not sealant over wax.

    That sounds like that's a pretty dense LSP film-layer.

    I've always been happy with two layers. I've never noticed any improvements in the shine, but two layers of SG ensures everything is covered evenly and you'll easily get six months of protection.

    I agree 100%, obviously wait the 12 hrs inbetween coats of KSG. If you wanna change the look a little bit you can top the KSG with something like P21s, but remember this will give a warm, natrual look whereas the KSG leaves the paint looking like "candy apple".

    Re: how many coats of klasse sg / topcoating

    When i used Klasse SG (and Zaino back in the day) i always applied 2 layers. My logic was that it was going on soooo thin i used the second layer to insure even coverage. I would sometimes layer on some nice carnauba for a little more "glow" but only after waiting for full curing. My toppings with nuba were reserved for the semi annual pre-love bug infestation in FL.
